To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RAIMUND ZEISE, a subj ect of the Prince ofSchwarzburg-Rudolstadt, residing at Egelsdorf-Konigsee, in thePrincipality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and German Empire, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Quill Tubes for the Mouth pieces of Cigarand Cigarette Holders and for other Purposes, (for which I have obtainedLetters Patent in Germany, No. 47,373, dated September 27, 1895; inAustria, No. 4,358/45, dated October 4, 1895; in Hungary,No. 5,550,dated-October 5, 1895; in Russia, No. 26,363, dated October 12/24, 1894;in France, No. 242,179, dated October 18, 1894; in England, No. 19,519,dated October 13, 1894; in Belgium, No. 112,245, dated October 15, 1894;in SWitzerland,No. 9,227,dated October 12,1894; in Italy, No. 37 ,618144, dated November 14,

1894; in Spain, No. 370/6,448, dated October- 20, 1894; in Sweden, No.6,011, dated November 15, 1894; in Norway, No. 3,955, dated Ootober 16,1894; in Denmark, No. 142, dated October 18, 1894, and in Luxemburg, No.2,137, dated October 12, 1894,) of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to quill tubes for the mouthpieces of cigar andcigarette holders and for other purposes; and it consists in a quillhaving one end turned inside out and drawn or doubled over one or moretimes onto the main portions of the quill to strengthen the end of thequill, so that, though soft and pliable, it will not be easily bittenthrough when employed for the mouthpiece of a cigar or cigarette holderand which will not be liable Fig.

6 is a longitudinal section of one of my improved tu bes,showing how itmay be employed as a holder or handle for a paint-brush. Fig. 7 shows inlongitudinal section a tube having one end turned inside out and drawnonly once onto and wholly parallel with the shank portion of the tube.Fig. 8 is a similar view showing one end of the tube turned out and overthe shaft twice.

The tube that I employ is cut from a quill of suitable diameter and mayhave any required length.

The end a of the quill tube 5 is turned inside out and drawn backwardover the shank portion or body of the tube. This is effected by drawingthe tube-shank I) over a heated mandrel, the heat of which renders theend a so soft and pliable that it can be readily doubled and drawn overthe outside of the shank portion. This drawing over of the end a may beexecuted in such manner that the edge a will bear directly against andsubstantially at right angles upon the tube-shank as shown in Figs. 1 to6, inclusive. In this manner the turned and drawn over portion will format its edge an annular bead on the shank of the quill.

If desired, the drawing operation may be done in such manner as to formalso another bead a at the outer end of the turned-over portion orextreme end of the quill. To accomplish this, it may be necessary tosubject the turned-over portion of the quill to reheating in order tofacilitate the required drawin g operations. The annular beads ct and 0.act to greatly stiffen and strengthen the turned-over end portion of thequill and give it an improved shape to serve as a mouthpiece for cigarand cigarette holders.

Instead of providing the turned-over portion of the quill with the beadsa and a the said turned-over and drawn portion may be laid parallel withthe shank of the quill, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8.

The end a may be turned out and over onto the quill only once, as shownin Figs. 1, 6, and

7, or it may be turned over twice, as more clearly shown at cf, Fig. Thebead portion GL2 may be turned onto itself, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

A quill having the turned and drawn end portion, as described, has theadvantage, When employed as a mouthpiece for cigar and cigaretteholders, of being pliable and not easily bitten through, although it issoft to the teeth. Besides their reinforcing effect the beads will serveto assist in retaining the article in the mouth of the smoker. In itsapplication as a holder or handle for a paintbrush stick the turned-overand reinforcing portion of the quill tube Will obviate all danger ofsplitting on insertion of the brush. In addition to these uses there aremany other purposes to which the improved tube may be convenientlyapplied.

What I claim as my invention is 1. As an improved article ofmanufacture, a feather quill having one end doubled outward and overonto and in contact with the outside of the shank portion of the quill,substantially as described.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, a feather quill having one enddoubled outward and over onto and in contact with the outside of theshank portion of the quill and beaded, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing Witnesses.

RAIMUND ZEISE.
